I am a fourth-year automotive engineering student in Palestine. I feel very lost and that there are no opportunities or a future in the country. I don't know what I will do after graduation and what are the things I focus on that I can earn from, I feel very lost.
I've been scrolling through the web, and it doesn't seem like many mods can be done to 2018 Honda Accords. I plan to get one soon and this could possibly be a deal breaker
Wondering if anyone here would be able to look at some pics taken behind dash/steering wheel and see if anything could be an ESP32 or an eRoad tracker?
Long story short, some weird stuff started happening in our house, and through analyzing Bluetooth and WiFi network for a number of weeks, have figured out we are being monitored for lack of better word, and this seems to include the vehicles. My car in particular seems to turn on by itself when I'm inside, the stereo Bluetooth will appear online randomly, stuff seems to start happening only when my car arrives home, which makes sense now that it appears an esp32 is in the car , possibly arrival sensor? The eRoad seems to be a tracker. There's also signs my dash has been taken off and put back on, it doesn't line up properly, a fuse button missing from behind the obdii, a random cord going from glovebox to steering wheel in front of the dash. It's all very weird Thanks to some product names/brands showing on analytics apps, I've now learned a lot about things I'd never heard of before!But before we go to the authorities, I want to make sure that there's something where it shouldn't be but we are not car/mechanic people .
Oh and the other car I took out the other day and noticed 'bluedroid' appeared on Bluetooth list about a hundred meters away from home and stayed active until the car has been off for a while. Not sure if that means anything suspicious?
Anyway won't give every detail, just a heads up if something looks dodge would be really helpful 😁
I am planning to start a business using OBD Eleven. Now that the Ultimate VAG Plan is available for purchase, I intend to subscribe for 12 months and offer car coding services. I will primarily use one-click apps for coding.
However, before moving forward, I would like to ask—how risky is it to enter this type of business? Is there any chance that using one-click apps could damage a vehicle or cause serious issues?
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and respond. Your insights are greatly appreciated!
Working on some cool stuff to control Hondas over OBD, using KLINE. Works for all cars!
I post all my research here for anyone who wants all the UDS commands/CAN bus signals/security access keys etc. I update it often! https://github.com/Ldalvik/NinePfive
Hey guys. I’m new to modding cars. But I’ve done my fair share of research on civics. The 9the gen seems to be one of the best civics. Plus in my opinion it looks the best. I’m gonna get an SI coupe. I wanna supercharge it. I’m aware of preventative maintenance that needs to be done. No point in straight upgrading an engine if basic parts starts going to shit for being a cheap ass. I want it to still be reliable. I want to aim for 325~ HP. What mods should I add to support the super charger better?? Btw I plan on installing bags. Idk if that could affect anything. Plz help
Edit:Seems some people r more clue less than me. Some so much so I don’t know if they can even fuckin read lol.
My step dad has a 2016 or 18 Subaru Outback and we are hearing someone talking from maybe the radio? Within the car, I know it’s a modern car with computers, network card, been trying to do some research on this but wtf someone hacked his Outback!?
Any info or resources , suggestions would be helpful.
Help! I need advice and information. I was cleaning out my car and noticed this device on the floor. I know that it is a GPS tracker or can’t be used as one. I didn’t install it and I’ve never had an insurance plan that had one for use. The date on the device (12-9-18) is much more recent than when I bought the car in 2010. I was able to get the SIM card out but don’t have a way to read it. Is there any other way I can find out more information about it!? I’ve asked around and nobody seems to know where it came from. I would really like to know who is tracking me.
Hi everyone, I’m working with a team on a tool that reads raw ECU firmware files (e.g., EDC17C10 dumps) and automatically locates tunable elements like switches (DPF/EGR/etc.) and calibration maps (boost, fuel, torque, rev limiters). I’m looking for guidance, bc i know nothing about this field and dont know how to start.
Like, what were the 1st car companies that companies like Qualcomm made chips for, and what years?
Or, by car make, who were the 1st car companies to have these semiconductor chips, and by which company? Thanks.
I wonder if any chip company, and a car brand/make, had a contract that the chip company could not make chips for other competitor companies, for examples.
I have a 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5. I wanna finally put the time and money to fix it up. Everything is still just original stock. I would like to do a new body kit(skirt,front,rear), and also get new front,rear and fog lights on it. Also do some interior work. And of course do some engine work. I don't know where to even begin. Can any one help as to where to start or where to look without completely burning a hole in my pockets. I know this project will take time n money. Just would like good quality so thought spending top top dollar. Thanks
I wanted to share a project with you and get your feedback.
I work at an auto repair shop. After my automotive electrical technician colleague left, I wanted to take over the electronic diagnostics… but I didn’t know where to start!
At first, I used ChatGPT, but it wasn’t ideal. I realized there were no other affordable solutions available.
So I thought it would be interesting to create a small app that organizes everything using AI. That’s how the idea for Diagolia was born: a platform designed to assist technicians with automotive diagnostics. My goal is to make automotive data accessible by offering tools that anyone can use.
The project is still in development, but since I’m already using it and find it useful in my daily work, I figured it could help others too. This isn’t a platform filled with sloppy content created by LLM. It’s really well thought out. The AI is there simply to streamline organization.
For now, the website is in French, but it will be translated soon. If you’d like to test it out, feel free to contact me. The goal is to gather your feedback so we can further improve the platform.
My SD Card is almost prepared. But to install it I need to get into developer mode. To do this I have VCDS installed on my laptop and connected via usb/OBD2 cable. But I get interface not found. I have almost uninstalled in device manager the device unplugged cable connected again and installed the drivers but always same. LED test is successful. I see in device manager when I connect cable that it shows under HUD device as COM3. Therefore I tried in VCds selecting COM3 as well as USB but did not get it working
